Never has proof

I wish I could write a glowing review, but my experience with this attorney has been anything but satisfying. Despite the impressive credentials and years of experience claimed on their website, I found their performance to be quite questionable. While they put on a confident veneer and spoke con...fidently about their abilities, I quickly learned that they were less inclined to actually take my case to court — the very place their expertise should shine. Throughout our engagement, I noticed that they seemed more comfortable operating behind the scenes rather than standing up on my behalf when it truly mattered. I felt as if I was perpetually stuck in neutral, losing precious time and energy. It took months to get clarity on key issues, all while feeling as though I was being talked over in every interaction. Strong communication skills should be a hallmark of a good attorney, but this experience felt like navigating a maze without a map. Moreover, when I requested research or evidence to back up their claims, I was met with vague answers or, worse, shrugging acknowledgment of a lack of preparation. It became increasingly evident that the arguments that initially sounded strong didn't hold up when it was time to put actionable steps in place. She gets your money and does the bare minimum and at times I believed she was working for the other side. Relayed conversations but never had proof of what was said. Ultimately, they could not perform the job they claimed they could. In an age where timely communication is key, responding only in writing made it difficult to foster any real trust. I found myself second-guessing every conversation and questioning the integrity of the information shared. In the end, I felt more like I was wasting my resources rather than genuinely being moved forward in my case. If you are looking for someone to stand beside you firmly and genuinely advocate for your best interests, I would seriously urge you to look elsewhere. For me, this journey proved that sometimes, even seasoned professionals can fall short of expectations.

Multi Talented Attorney

Attorney Preer and I had a pleasurable experience as client and counsel. She has a compassionate, focused,outgoing,understanding spirit. This spirit is definitely reflected in her work ethics. She works diligently and kept me at paced through out the whole process. She was always punctual and informe...d about my case. She always knew what to anticipate next, showing how experienced she is in the law field. She always made sure I had a true understanding of what to expect and the outcome of that expectation. She was always there to listen and govern my concerns. She moved so gracefully, respectfully and patiently within the court room. She told me not to worry, that she had me from the origin, and she truly exceeded that by a long shot. We received the outcome, we anticipated from the beginning. She is truly GOD sent and there isn’t one person I wouldn’t highly recommend Attorney Preer to. I highly appreciate your energy, efforts, and services.

The Best Around........Period!

I started working with Shauntay in early 2019 as I needed support in battling a child support case. Shauntay was available to me via email, text and phone call from sun up to sun down to answer all my questions and address any concerns that I had. Her clients are her top priority and should you choos...e to retain her services, you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about. She is a consummate professional and extremely knowledgeable about her profession. Shauntay assessed my situation and all of the facts to create a powerful and convincing argument to not only show that my ex-wife’s child support monetary request was frivolous, but she also was able present an agreeable amount which was accepted immediately without issue. Shauntay fights hard for her clients and the proof is in the results. I am extremely grateful for her hard work and dedication. Definitely one rising star attorneys around.

More Stars needed to give to Shaunte'!

I was referred to Shaunte' by a mutual friend. Upon providing her the details of my current on-going Contract-related case, she advised I fire my current lawyer immediately. Among further research, my old lawyer hadn't done much of anything in almost two years all while continuing to charge me thousa...nds of dollars. I took her advice and she has been a completely savior for me on this case. Absolute black and white from my previous attorney. Shaunte' takes the time to dig deep into the details. Highly recommended and very reasonable prices too. Thanks again!

Thank you Shaunte' Preer

After calling several lawyers, I spoke with Preer and immediately hired her. She spoke to me right then and there, on the phone, and gave me advice. I felt a personal connection and was confident that she had my best interest. Preer consistently communicated with me through text, email, and p...hone calls. I could text her and ask her anything; she always replied promptly. As my case was very stressful, she turned a terrible situation into ease. I am definitely thankful for Preer and appreciate her great effort in defending me.
